Many companies are focused on building robots, or the hardware components to help them move, grip objects, or interact with the world around them. OpenMind is focused under the hood.

Galaxy S26 Ultra charging time leak leaves us with more questions than answers

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra can reach 75 to 80% capacity after 30 minutes of 60W charging. That isn’t really an upgrade over the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s charging time. It’s still possible that the S26 Ultra could beat the S25 Ultra when it comes to total charging time. Leaks suggest the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could get 60W wired charging speeds. This would be a significant leap from 45W seen on previous Galaxy S Ultra handsets. What does
